warning

This comes at a time when the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the Far'a Camp Battalion in Tubas warned the security services affiliated with the Palestinian Authority against continuing to dismantle their explosive devices, and indicated that these devices operate “with a wireless detonation system, and this exposes the lives of those who dismantle our devices to danger. In order to preserve lives, we warn against touching our devices and disclaim responsibility for any damage resulting from them during the Authority's attempt to dismantle them.”
